Apply to attend the Summer Institute

Applications are invited from (a) advanced doctoral students, usually post-fieldwork, (b) postdoctoral researchers, and (c) recently appointed faculty or lecturers (normally within 3 years of the initial continuing appointment).

The local costs of the meeting (accommodation, plus some meals) are covered for all participants. Travel stipends are available to all those that are awarded places.

Applications are adjudicated by an international selection panel. (Those who are unsuccessful in securing a place at the Summer Institute are encouraged to re-apply for the next meeting.)

“The Summer Institute in Economic Geography is an extraordinary event. It is somewhere in between a state-of-the-art convention for economic geography and a rite of passage for early-career scholars. Valuable, indispensable, and highly recommended.”

“The ultimate alt-conference, it brings together a small, dynamic mix of early career scholars with geography’s leading voices in a way that allows for deep theoretical dives, methodological debates, topical discussions, and informal socializing.”

“I already knew that economic geography was a heterodox and highly diverse field. But these six days of intense exchange helped me make sense of this diversity, to feel better equipped for navigating it, and to see my own position within it more clearly.”
